Reborn in the ’80s as a Group Favorite Bigshot – Chapter 121

Chapter 121: Song Chu Really Gave Him a Big Surprise This Time

Everyone found this outcome to be more acceptable and agreeable.

Fang Yuelan was very malicious. If she could scheme against someone once, she could do it again. Everyone thought it was a good idea to send her to a remote farm far away from the village.

This could also teach her a lesson, and maybe she would turn over a new leaf.

The fact that she wasn’t directly sent to jail brought some relief to Fang’s family, but Fang Mother was also quite upset, as she would soon be unable to see her daughter.

However, they knew they couldn’t blame anyone else. They all knew that Fang Yuelan had brought this upon herself.

All they could do was prepare as many things as possible for her to take to the farm. There was nothing else they could do.

Fang Yuelan did not return. She was directly sent to the farm by the county officials, along with several other people who were being sent down.

However, the Fang family was allowed to send some things over.

Song Chu also made a point of finding out about the farm. She discovered that it was indeed very remote and even quite poor and backward, much worse than the cowshed in their village. Fang Yuelan’s life there would definitely not be easy.

This could be considered a form of retribution. She had to bear the consequences of her actions.

After the Fang Yuelan incident was over, the workers at the breeding farm became even more united.

Especially the two or three people who had almost been swayed by Fang Yuelan were shocked and scared. They were glad they had stuck to their conscience in the end. Otherwise, they would have suffered the same fate.

After two days, many of the vegetables planted by Song Youfu were ready to be harvested.

The villagers had planted theirs later, so they all came to watch.

First, they harvested the spinach and other vegetables planted in the wooden frames on the open space on the back mountain. Then they went to harvest in the open space at the breeding farm.

“These vegetables are growing really well. They may be small, but they are so fresh and tender. They’re really good.”

“I didn’t expect that planting vegetables in these wooden frames could really produce such good vegetables. I’m glad I followed Youfu’s lead and planted some.”

“Youfu is really good at growing vegetables.”

“Now we won’t be short of vegetables, and I can even send some to my daughter in the county town every month.”

“Song Chu is really capable. Only she could have come up with this method.”

“That’s right, our Chu Chu is really amazing.” The villagers quickly shifted from talking about vegetables to praising Song Chu.

Song Youfu, beaming, led Song’s Eldest Brother to harvest the vegetables.

In all his years, this was the first time he had been praised and acknowledged by the villagers like this.

Just as they finished harvesting a batch, Sheng Qingyang walked in with a few people.

“What’s all the excitement about?”

Song Chu was not surprised to see him. She smiled and said, “My dad planted a lot of vegetables before. Today, some of them are ready to be harvested, so everyone came to join in the fun.”

The villagers recognized him, and they greeted him with a mixture of restraint and enthusiasm, making way for him.

Sheng Qingyang walked over and saw the many vegetables growing in the wooden frames in the open space of the courtyard. He asked curiously, “How did these vegetables grow?”

This was the first time he had seen anyone grow vegetables like this.

Song Chu smiled and said, “I read about this method of growing vegetables in a book before, so I asked my dad to try it, and it worked.”

“Dad, tell Vice-County Magistrate Sheng how you planted them.” She gave Song Youfu a look.

Song Youfu rubbed his hands together nervously and stood up, swallowing before he began to speak haltingly, “It’s, it’s just using wooden frames…”

Gradually, he became more fluent. Sheng Qingyang occasionally asked questions, and he was able to answer them all.

Sheng Qingyang and the people who came with him were surprised to learn about this method of growing vegetables.

Most importantly, it didn’t take up much land and didn’t affect the planting of grain, but it could enrich their meals.

◈◈◈

Sheng Qingyang’s first impression of Song Chu was that she was beautiful and good at fighting. Later, he heard from Huo Kai that she had started the breeding farm, and he thought that although she was a young girl, she was quite capable.

Now he had another impression: she was also very smart and interesting.

He couldn’t help but ask, “Comrade Song, can this method be used in the city?”

Song Chu smiled and nodded, “Yes, it can!”

“People in the city who have courtyards can build wooden frames directly in their courtyards to plant vegetables. Those who don’t have courtyards can plant on their balconies if they have them.” In the past, in modern times, some people grew vegetables on their balconies.

“For example, some factories with a lot of open space can also plant some vegetables to provide for the canteen and improve the workers’ meals,” she added.

Sheng Qingyang asked his secretary to take note of this. “This is good. Currently, the supply of vegetables in the county town is quite tight. If everyone can start planting like this, it can solve a lot of problems.”

He thought for a moment and asked Song Chu, “Can I promote this method throughout the county?”

After all, this was Song Chu’s idea. He had to ask for her permission out of respect.

Song Chu said generously, “No problem. We all support this kind of thing that serves the people.”

Sheng Qingyang smiled and said, “Comrade Song’s awareness is indeed very high. You are a good comrade.”

He added, “The main purpose of our visit today is to inspect your breeding farm. Could you please give us a tour and explain things to us?”

Song Chu nodded, “No problem.”

Then she made a gesture of invitation. “Leaders, please follow me.”

Song Chu led them to the area of the breeding farm that was currently in use. She showed them the chick incubators and the hatched chicks, and then she showed them the chickens that were almost ready to be sold.

Now the breeding farm had more than two thousand chickens. In addition to being kept together, they were also allowed to roam freely in a designated area. Scientific methods were used to raise the chickens, making them grow bigger and fatter.

Seeing the lively, plump, and strong chickens, Sheng Qingyang and the others were a little surprised.

They had previously visited the largest chicken farm in the county. It had more chickens than this one, but the chickens here looked much better.

Next door was the duck-raising area. From the initial dozens of ducklings, it had now grown to several hundred.

They looked very lively and would even form small groups to waddle around, looking very endearing.

Finally, they visited the pig-raising area.

Now Song’s Eldest Brother was mainly in charge here. In addition to the original pigs in the village, they had later caught more than twenty more from outside.

When they entered the pigsty, it wasn’t as smelly as other pig farms. It wasn’t dirty either. Everything was cleaned very well.

Seeing the round, white, and plump pigs scrambling for food, everyone couldn’t help but say, “These pigs are raised really well. They look quite clean too.”

Song Chu smiled and said, “Our breeders clean these pigs every two days, and the pigsty is also cleaned every day. This way, it’s less likely to breed too many germs, and the pigs are less likely to get sick.”

“I see that you have your own methods for raising chickens, ducks, and pigs?” Sheng Qingyang had been observing all along and often asked Song Chu questions. This was his conclusion.

Song Chu replied, “Yes, we are using scientific breeding methods from books, combined with the actual situation of our village. We have also consulted many experienced people. This is how we developed a set of breeding methods, and we are constantly improving them.”

Sheng Qingyang’s eyes lit up as he looked at Song Chu. “You’ve done very well, especially you, Comrade Song, as the farm director. You deserve special praise.”

Song Chu really gave him a big surprise this time.
